Any way you look at it, QoS design involves manipulating QoS characteristics—bandwidth, delay, jitter, and loss—for overall benefit in a network.

Notice, however, that this section is not just titled “QoS Design,” but rather “QoS Design for the Cisco QoS Exams.” QoS design, unbounded, could require several chapters. Interestingly, there is only one objective for the DQOS exam that mentions design, and yes, the number of
